Process Model
\[ d_{t} \sim T*d_{t-1} + Normal(0,\Sigma)\] \[ x_t = x_{t-1} + d_{t} \]
3.1 Parameters
For each individual:
\[\theta = \text{Mean turning angle}\] \[\gamma = \text{Move persistence} \]
For both behaviors process variance is: \[ \sigma_{latitude} = 0.1\] \[ \sigma_{longitude} = 0.1\]
3.2 Behavioral States
\[ \text{For each individual i}\] \[ Behavior_1 = \text{traveling}\] \[ Behavior_2 = \text{foraging}\]
\[ \alpha_{i,1,1} = \text{Probability of remaining traveling when traveling}\] \[\alpha_{i,2,1} = \text{Probability of switching from feeding to traveling}\]
\[\begin{matrix} \alpha_{i,1,1} & 1-\alpha_{i,1,1} \\ \alpha_{i,2,1} & 1-\alpha_{i,2,1} \\ \end{matrix} \]
3.3 Environment
Behavioral states are a function of local environmental conditions. The first environmental condition is ocean depth. I then build a function for preferential foraging in shallow waters.
It generally follows the form, conditional on behavior at t -1:
\[Behavior_t \sim Multinomial([\phi_{traveling},\phi_{foraging}])\] \[logit(\phi_{traveling}) = \alpha_{Behavior_{t-1}} + \beta_1 * Ocean_{y[t,]}\] \[logit(\phi_{foraging}) = \alpha_{Behavior_{t-1}} + \beta_2 * Ocean_{y[t,]}\]
3.4 Continious tracks
The transmitter will often go dark for 10 to 12 hours, due to weather, right in the middle of an otherwise good track. The model requires regular intervals to estimate the turning angles and temporal autocorrelation. As a track hits one of these walls, call it the end of a track, and begin a new track once the weather improves. We can remove any micro-tracks that are less than three days. Specify a duration, calculate the number of tracks and the number of removed points. Iteratively.
How did the filter change the extent of tracks?
